EDITORS COMMENTS
Recruitment of Troops," plate two from Gerard van Schagen's "The Large Miseries of War," is a powerful etching on paper that captures the raw reality of military enlistment during the 17th century. The image, created by the Dutch artist Gerard van Schagen, depicts a large group of men, huddled together in a panoramic scene, undergoing the selection process for the armed forces. The letterbox format of the etching adds to the sense of depth and immersion, drawing the viewer into the chaotic scene. The men in the image come from all walks of life, from the wealthy and well-dressed to the ragged and destitute. Each man is scrutinized by a stern-faced recruiter, who holds a list and a quill pen, ready to mark down the names of those deemed fit for service. The atmosphere is tense and anxious, with some men looking hopeful, while others appear resigned or even desperate. The etching is part of a larger series called "The Large Miseries of War," which was created by Gerard van Schagen, also known as Gerrit Lucasz van Schagen or Gerrit van Schagen, between 1625 and 1630. The series is considered a masterpiece of Dutch art and is renowned for its unflinching portrayal of the harsh realities of warfare. The "Recruitment of Troops" plate is a testament to the enduring power of art to capture and preserve historical moments. It invites us to reflect on the human cost of war and the complex motivations that drive men to enlist in the military. The image is now part of the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago and is a must-see for anyone interested in military history, art history, or the history of the Netherlands and the Low Countries during the 17th century.
